Logs

19-Dec-14
One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Nothing has happened on this one for months must be time to go
 
05-Oct-14
Didn't find this one.
 
04-Oct-14
As with other logs, no luck today. With lots of favourites, I was looking forward to finding this one.
 
04-Oct-14
As with other logs, we didn't find it either. There are a couple of really obvious hiding places at ground zero, and we had five sets of eyes looking everywhere as well. Its probably worth a check from the CO to see if we are all just following blindly (literally) or if it really has gone. Thanks for bringing us to this great location anyway. We spent quite a bit of time here enjoying the sculptures and the history lessons.
 
04-Oct-14
Had no luck with this one today and there were a few pairs of eyes looking for it.

Needs Maintenance
Pit me in middle of 3 trees and nothing.
 
23-Sep-14
Clearly, something has happened and its no longer there.
 
23-Sep-14
Gps ends on the middle between 2 pts but could find any signs or further clues.
 
12-Aug-14
No luck and we were in the presence of a past finder. The obvious place is obviously empty and given the length of time between finds, this needs urgent attention.
 
08-Aug-14
Heading to Geelong for a Geocaching weekend I was the rose in the thorns of brisal5, Aussie M&M, and Dr. Owl. (BAD). Of course cache clearing on the way for 1 or 2 or sometime 3 of the group. Cool
Joined the long list of DNF's but that is probably because it is not there!

Darknstormy and i were making our way home from such a wonderful camping trip so we decided to break the drive with some caching Smile

Wow these carvings are amazing, if only it wasn't raining and we could have pulled the cameras out :S

Apologies for some generic logs but its hard to remember the details when u have done so many Smile

Thanks for the cache The Rizzos Smile

Miss GG and I were camping in the SE, and decided to do a few caches on the way back

We had a wonderful trip and the weather was very kind to us.

Sorry for the generic log for most of the caches, sure you can understand that you can't remember them all esp when you are not logging on the go

We whipped up a list of some caches to keep us awake on the trip back.

Thanks for the cache The Rizzos Very Happy

Awesome location, thanks for bringing us here Very Happy

after a quick find we took the time out to admire the carvings, very well done, lets hope they have termite protection here : ) TFTC
 
28-Oct-13
Saw these carvings from the road & had to pull over to have a look. Thought "surely someone has put a cache here" & sure enough I was right!

As mentioned the coordinates are quite off but searched the obvious area & there it was Smile

A nice break on the way between Adelaide & Mt Gambier. TFTC Smile

We had stopped here once before, but that was before we started geocaching. Great monument and beautiful surrounds. Mrs Bazinga found GZ then Mr Bazinga swooped in to claim the prize! TFTC
 
07-Oct-13
Was a hard find 17 meters off GPS location
But just keep looking and remember the hint tftc tn ln Smile

Not sure what we did wrong here. The coordinates put us in the middle of an open space. We then headed to the nearest big tree and began a search. All we found was a pen, but nothing resembling a cache. The whole area has been mown recently, and it looks like a line trimmer may have been used around the base of the trees. We searched the other tree nearby, but just assumed the cache must be missing.
 
26-Sep-13
G.P.S led us straight to it. Good spot. The carvings are amazing! TFTC Smile

17-Jan-13
A quick find on my way to the Big Little Event at Nelson. Stopped to look at the sculptures and thought "there has to be a cache here". Looked up the smart phone, and yes, 20 metres away. TFTC.
 
17-Jan-13
What a great spot to stop even on such a hot day! Loved the sculptures. The GPSr jumped around a bit so had to rely more on good geo-sense to make the find than the actual arrow. Lid is cracked and unfortunately I didn't have a spare box with me, sorry. Cache #1,444.
 
17-Jan-13
Passing through - left new container.
 
17-Jan-13
1869th cache found by WazzaAndWenches. Log signed at 13:38Hrs.
